Avril 2015:Senior officials killed in Malaysia helicopter crash
April 7, 2015
Ed-note, Sabba–Malaysia…again? Is Malaysia being targeted?
Malaysia War Crime Commission found israel guilty of war crimes back in 2013. The Jerusalem Post reported the news with an article entitled” Guess who finds israel guilty of genocide?” They almost laughed at it (did they really?): ” It’s a piece of news that’s too absurd to make the news – but by ignoring it we actually miss a good illustration of the bizarre extremes to which Jew-haters will go”.
That same tribunal had found G.W. Bush and Tony Blair guilty of war crimes in 2011.
In August 2014, a Malaysian couple decided to burn the israeli flag on their wedding day…
Former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir (for more than 20 years) publicly said: “The Jews rule this world by proxy, they get others to fight and die for them… They have now gained control of the most powerful countries … This tiny community have become a world power.”

“The
world is finally feeling the frustration that we’ve been experiencing
for years,” said Lee Ee May, a management consultant and a former aide
to a Malaysian opposition politician.

Ms.
Lee said she was embarrassed when the country’s defense minister,
Hishammuddin Hussein, the scion of a powerful political family, rejected
a reporter’s assertion on Wednesday that the search for the airplane
had been disordered.

“It’s
only confusion if you want it to be seen to be confusion,” Mr.
Hishammuddin said at a news conference that unfolded before an
international audience.

The Washington Post | March 21, 2014 | For Malaysia, a Problem of Perception
Malaysia's government is in the spotlight due to its handling of the
missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared just 40
minutes after leaving Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing on March 8.
It's an unusual situation for the country. Malaysia doesn't usually
make headlines -- it's not a huge tourist destination, like its neighbor
Thailand, and it hasn't had a recent disaster like the Philippines or
Indonesia. Instead, Malaysia has mostly become known as a quiet success
in Southeast Asia in recent years, where GDP per capita was well ahead
of Thailand and Indonesia and the economy was expected to grow between 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent in 2014.
Now, with the Malaysian government facing scrutiny from all corners,
everyone is beginning to wonder: Is there more to Malaysia than meets
the eye?

The Jewish elite were outraged when in
2001, Prime Minister Mahatir of the economically prosperous Southeast
Asian nation of Malaysia bravely stood up and told a large global
conference of leaders, “The Jews rule the world.”The assembled leaders were stunned to hear one of their own fearlessly stand up to Israel and the Jews. “They rule by proxy,” said Prime Minister Mahatir. Though they are only a small group, he explained, “The Jews have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, the tiny community, have become a world power.”Mahatir warned that the few countries in
the world still free of Zionist control must fight back and be
intelligent in confronting them. “We need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes,” he said, and “tanks and warships for our defense.”In the guise of a so-called “War on Terrorism,” said Mahatir, the Zionist Jews now “attack and kill us, invade our lands, bring down our governments.”Mahatir’s disclosure and warning brought
the world’s Jewish-controlled media down on his head. The truth was
unveiled, and the Jews were boiling in anger. The Mossad’s official
motto is By Way of Deception, and here the Malaysian Prime Minister had publicly branded
the Jews for what they are. No longer could they silently and
stealthily kill, control, and dominate. Their ruthless and brutal
conduct was no longer a secret.

Jews Seek Revenge

And so the Jews, who are proven to be
insanely methodical and coldly calculating in seeking revenge, could
naturally be expected to attack and punish Malaysia. It was only a
matter of time and opportunity.Earlier this year, Malaysia experienced
the first round of Israel’s hateful revenge. Malaysian Airliner Flight
MH370 went off the radar; all passengers and crew presumed dead. The
plane vanished somewhere near the Indian Ocean.Soon intelligence agents began to leak
rumors. Only the United States, most certainly chief ally and proxy of
Israel, could have done this evil deed. But, why? Some whispered their
belief that the airliner had been hijacked electronically by the U.S.
and taken to nearby Diego Garcia, a Top Secret U.S. military site.

The Ukraine Connection

Some, however, suggested the plane had
been taken to Ukraine. Ukraine is close, a straight shot by air from
Malaysia. There, it was believed, the airliner was wheeled into an air
base hanger. All passengers and crew were dead, from asphyxiation.

A Second Malaysian Airliner is Lost

Now the plot gets thick. What does Ukraine have to do with Malaysian Flight 370? Then came word of a second
Malaysian Airliner, Flight MH 17, shot down with 298 lives lost over
the Ukraine. Eerily, the first responders at the crash site claimed that
the dead bodies they found were not fresh, but had been killed prior.
Had the bodies been taken from the earlier, missing jet, stored in
refrigeration then placed in this second airliner?Or was MH17 not a second airliner at all? Perhaps—could it be—that this was
MH370? Was there only one Malaysian Airliner hijacked in flight, flown
to Ukraine and concealed then used for nefarious purpose by Israel and
the U.S. Was the Malaysian jet used to gain a strategic propaganda
advantage in the revolution going in Ukraine between the corrupt
regime’s Jewish Right Sector and the pro-Russian patriots and
separatists?

Right: Wreckage of
Malaysian Flight MH17 in Ukraine. Earlier, a second airliner, Flight
MH370, was mysteriously lost. Were these the same plane? Was the missing
Flight MH370 craft highjacked electronically by the United States and
flown to Ukraine to await this opportunity to blame Russia? (Wreckage

Malaysian Airlines Reputation Tarnished

Malaysian Airlines is now ruined. Few
wish to ride this company’s once highly praised jet aircraft. What a
blow to Malaysia and its reputation. Israel has taken its revenge,
simultaneously killing two birds at once, smearing both Malaysia and its
historic enemy, a free and independent Christian Russia.

Are the Jews and the
Obama Administration using Malaysian Flight MH17 to frame Russian
President Putin? Is their motive to frighten Russia from intervening in
the Jewish Coup and genocide in Ukraine? Will their frame-up lead to a
new Cold War?

Remember what I revealed
first here, that Ukraine is ancient Khazaria, original homeland for the
fake “Jews” who now populate both Israel and the U.S.A. Ukraine is a
nation in revolutionary war, with the U.S. and Israeli coup overthrowing
the constitutionally elected President and seizing control. The Jewish
oligarchs in Ukraine are anxious and vow to soon murder Russia’s
Vladimir Putin and turn that country into another vile wasteland of
anti-Christian malevolence, rotten with gulags and death.

Goal: A Jewish, New World Order

This is the Jews’ horrible goal, and they
believe that America’s leaders are too greedy and fearful to stop them.
Indeed, the American elite are helping them in their ungodly quest for a
Jewish New World Order. The Jews are also convinced that the people of America are too stupid to know what is happening. By way of Deception
is the Israeli Mossad motto. By proxy the Jews do indeed rule the
world. And the once, great America is today their muddy footstool.

"American politicians are scared stiff of the Jews because anybody who votes against the Jews will lose elections. The Jews in America are supporting the Jews in Israel. Israel and other Jews control the most powerful nation in the world. And that is what I mean [about Jews controlling the world by proxy]. I stand by that view."
--Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, ex prime-minister of Malaysia and founder of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission, to the UK Guardian in 2005

Author Michael Collins Piper dedicated his book THE GOLEM to Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, which he calls "The Father of Modern Malaysia and a Front-Line Warrior for World Peace". He quotes Dr Mahathir Mohamad:

We must banish war as an option in the settlement of disputes and conflicts between nations; to recognize and define war as legitimized mass murder, as inhuman and uncivilized.' I call upon the world to reject war totally and to accept peace as the true expression of the humaneness and nobility of humankind, the ultimate measure of the level of civilization humanity should strive for, should attain. In the name of democracy, freedom and God, the war criminals have waged and continue to wage wars of aggressions and commit heinous war crimes. In the name of peace, we must mount a global effort to prevent war criminals from waging wars and the slaughter of the innocents. We must be resolute. We must not flinch in the face of adversity. Our cause is just and victory is assured though the struggle will be long and arduous. God willing, peace will prevail. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first steps. We have taken many steps. Let us march forward in this struggle to achieve true civilization, to criminalize war.

—DR.MAHATHIR MOHAMAD

THE GOLEM: Chapter Twenty-Six

It's Time to Wage War Against War:Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Speaks Out

In June of 2006 (following an earlier visit in 2004) this author made a second trip to Malaysia at which time I participated as a guest of Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the longtime former prime minister of that Southeast Asian republic, in the second formal ession of the Perdana Global Peace Organization (PGPO), founded by Dr. Mahathir in 2005.
The PGPO has urged a global campaign to have the conduct of war formally criminalized under international law and to make leaders who perpetrate wars, along with the organizations and businesses that support them, recognized as criminals by international law.
The special 2006, session of the peace forum focused on the theme: "The Middle East Agenda: Oil, Dollar Hegemony and Islam" and featured a diverse group of distinguished diplomats, scholars and others from around the globe who not only addressed the subject of the ongoing role of the United States and Britain and Israel in the problems of the Middle East—in particular the drive for war against Iran—but also the dangers of nuclear proliferation.
In his keynote address to the forum, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad noted that most people view war as "something that happens somewhere else to other people," when, in fact,"war is about killing people—a test of the ability of nations to kill."
Dr. Mahathir pointed out that, today, nations are looking for "new ways of killing," demonstrating that "We are as brutal as ever. We have not really become civilized."
However, he said, "War is not a solution to any conflict between nations. War is a crime. We need to work in the longterm for war to be seen as a crime. People who wage war should be treated as criminals."
Although Dr. Mahathir believes that it is vital for a nation to have a national defense system, having arms doesn't mean that a nation is planning for war. He insists that nations should settle their differences by means other than war.
"In war," he said, "the winner is 'right.' The loser—even if he is defending his country—is wrong, and he may be hanged."
And in light of the current U.S. claim that it conducted war against Iraq to bring democracy to that country, Dr. Mahathir asked,"What is this 'democracy' that the neo-conservatives are promoting?" pointing out that even the new leaders of Iraq are unable to venture out of their protected zones. "Are the people of Iraq free today?" he asked.
"It is undemocratic to kill people to make them accept democracy," he said. And now the United States is considering going to war against Iran, a nation that has a democratically elected president.

Of the current United States domination of the United Nations Security Council, Dr. Mahathir said that this is "a very undemocratic way of sponsoring democracy."
Dr. Mahathir asserted that it is time that voters in all countries insist that candidates for high office give a pledge that they are against war.
World War IV is already here, said Dr. Mahathir, pointing out that it was not he who coined the term. Instead, it was such leading neo-conservative voices as Norman Podhoretz, the longtime editor of the American Jewish Committee's Commentary magazine and Dr. Earl Filford of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, who declared that World War IV is upon us, echoed by Efraim Halevy, the former chief of Israel's Mossad, and others.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued a Quadrennial Defense Review Report, dated March 6, 2006, saying that the war will be a "long war" that will last for "years to come." Even Dr. Mahathir pointed out, 350,000 American forces are deployed in 130 countries. Rumsfeld was echoed by President George Bush who declared that the United States was "in the early years of a long struggle" against what he referred to as "a new totalitarian ideology."
The origins of this war, said Dr. Mahathir, can be found in a policy paper drafted by neo-conservative strategist Paul Wolfowitz who, in 1992, called for the projection of U.S. military power with Islam as its target. And now Iran is the latest target. In the same vein as the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, the U.S. Congress has now passed the Iran Freedom Support Act.
And the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan warship is now positioning itself for conflict. And it's a very strong possibility that nuclear weapons will be used.
Dr. Mahathir said frankly: "The war criminal Bush has declared that all options are on the table," including nuclear weapons. And yet,"Iran's efforts count for nothing," including the fact that Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty.The warlike rhetoric and threats coming from President Bush, said the former Malaysian prime minister, "are strong words from the president of the most powerful nation in the world. He has already shown us what he is capable of in the war against Iraq. We must put a stop to this plans and stop the killings."
Expressing his sympathy for the American soldiers who must fight the wars being waged by the Bush regime, Dr. Mahathir pointed out that American lives will also be endangered endangered in the war against Iran:
"It is the ordinary man who will pay for the price of this folly, but Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair are protected and safe from harm," noted Dr. Mahathir. However, he said, "Peace loving peoples must mete out justice. The international community must summon the political will to bring these war criminals to justice."
Dr. Mahathir directly confronted Bush and Blair:"They should not be addressed by any honorific. They should not be called President Bush and Prime Minister Blair. Instead, we should refer to them as War Criminal Bush' and 'War Criminal Blair.' These are the war criminals. Have a good look at them."
Of Bush, Dr. Mahathir said: "This is a man who told lies. The whole nation knows he told lies."And today the United States is surviving on a war economy It is a bankrupt country and its currency has no backing. But billions of dollars are being spent on weapons for wars that need not be fought.
While the mass media in the United States proclaims former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a man of peace, contrast that, said Dr.Mahathir, with the way the media has treated Iranian President Ahmadinejad and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
Ultimately, Dr. Mahathir asked: "Will Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the other war criminals be taken before an international tribunal" to be held responsible for the war crimes that are even now being committed in Iraq?
The November 2005 massacre at Haditha—the murder of innocent people—has only recently been exposed. But, said Dr. Mahathir, it was "not a random event."
And referring to the so-called "preemptive" war that the United States waged against Saddam Hussein in Iraq (and which is being pondered against Iran), Dr. Mahathir commented, and, it might be added, only partially in jest: "Maybe if I were still in office, they might have had a preemptive war against me."
In reference to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute and the U.S. role therein, he said that "No way can you have America as an honest broker—a dishonest broker, maybe." He compared the role of the United States in the world today as akin to a situation "when the police chief is breaking the law." The analogy was all too accurate.
In the end, Dr. Mahathir urged all good people who oppose war and imperialism to come together and, he said,"God willing—peace will prevail."
Let us pray that Dr. Mahathir's dream becomes reality.

THE GOLEM: CONCLUSION

(...)
In the end, all of this globalist saber-rattling in the name of some ill-defined form of "democracy" as divined by George W. Bush's philosophical mentor, Natan Sharansky, is hardly winning America any new friends abroad. If anything, it is making America more enemies and laying the groundwork for foreign policy disasters of the future..
In the meantime, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, often described as the "Father of Modern Malaysia" and long respected as a voice for the developing countries, is not backing down in the face of these war-like provocations.
He has been speaking out—with passion and with candor.
In a 2005 interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper, the longtime Malaysian prime minister (who retired in 2003) declared the Bush administration a "rogue regime" and denounced Bush ally, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, as a "proven liar" for having propagated disinformation put forth by Bush and his pro-Israel policy advisors.
The outspoken Malaysian, who is highly regarded throughout the Third World, created a major stir in 2003 when—in the course of an extended lecture before an international gathering of leaders from Muslim countries—he stated that "Jews rule the world by proxy," only one brief comment in a lengthy discourse, but one that was enough to incite a global media frenzy. However, Dr. Mahathir told the Guardian that he was not prepared to withdraw his remarks. He said:

[American] politicians are scared stiff of the Jews because anybody who votes against the Jews will lose elections. The Jews in America are supporting the Jews in Israel. Israel and other Jews control the most powerful nation in the world.
And that is what I mean [about Jews controlling the world]. I stand by that view.
Dr. Mahathir's pointed comments about the behavior of the United States, particularly vis-a-vis its engagement in the Middle East, reflect not only Muslim opinion, but growing opinion in Europe and elsewhere. Dr. Mahathir told the Guardian:

The U.S. is the most powerful nation. It can ignore the world if it wants to do anything. It breaks international law. It arrests people outside their countries; it charges them under American law. It kills them ...
That is terror [and] the U.S. is as guilty of terrorism as the people who crashed their planes into the buildings ... Bush doesn't understand the rest of the world. He thinks everybody should be a neocon like him.

Coming from one of the world's foremost Muslim leaders—and one who has urged his fellow Muslims to reject terrorism and extremism— Dr. Mahathir's assessment of the declared U.S. war on terrorism is particularly pointed and a very real caution to American policy-makers who are wedded to the interests of Israel:

Even if you get bin Laden, you can't be sure there won't be another bin Laden. You cannot get terrorists to sign a peace treaty.
The only way to beat terror is to go for the basic causes.
They don't blow themselves up for no reason, they're angry, they're frustrated.
And why are they angry? Look at the Palestinian situation. Fifty years after you created the state of Israel, things are going from bad to worse.
If you don't settle that, there will be no end to the war on terror. For how long are you going to go on examining people's shoes?

Lest anyone dismiss Dr. Mahathir's comments as "a conspiracy theory from the Muslim world," recall that, as noted earlier, the New York-based Forward, the eminent Jewish newspaper, reported on May 11, 2005 that Barry Jacobs of the American Jewish Committee had charged that there are high-ranking officials in the U.S. intelligence community who are hostile to Israel and waging war against pro-Israel lobbyists and their neoconservative allies in the Bush administration.
Forward reported that Jacobs believes, in Forward's summary, that "the notion that American Jews and Pentagon neo-conservatives conspired to push the United States into war against Iraq, and possibly also against Iran, is pervasive in Washington's intelligence community."
In fact, Jacobs' concerns are valid as we have demonstrated quite thoroughly in this volume. There is a growing concern about the vast influence of the Jewish lobby in America—as there should be.

The point is that the policies of George W. Bush are not just a cause of concern to those in the Arab and Muslim worlds, or in Russia, China or even Venezuela. There are many good Americans (including those in high places) who see real danger in these policies. And there are many people around the world who recognize that those Americans share their concerns.
s one effort to throw a roadblock in the way of imperialism and wars to advance imperialism, Malaysia's Dr. Mahathir assembled the Perdana Global Peace Organization which we referenced earlier in this work. On December 17, 2005 Dr. Mahathir and those attending a special forum of the organization, announced the Kuala Lumpur Initiative to Criminalize War. As its name implies, the initiative and the efforts to promote its message constitute a serious call for a global drive to make the conduct of war a criminal act. The initiative reads as follows:

THE KUALA LUMPUR INITIATIVE TO CRIMINALIZE WAR

The Kuala Lumpur Global Peace Forum of concerned peoples from all five continents
UNITED in the belief that peace is the essential condition for the survival and well-being of the human race,
DETERMINED to promote peace and save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,
OUTRAGED over the frequent resort to war in the settlement of disputes between nations,
DISTURBED that militarists are preparing for more wars,
TROUBLED that use of armed force increases insecurity for all,
TERRIFIED that the possession of nuclear weapons and the imminent risk of nuclear war will lead to the annihilation of life on earth.

To achieve peace we now declare that:
• Wars increasingly involve the killing of innocent people and are, therefore, abhorrent and criminal.
• Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace.
• Since killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime, killings in war must likewise be subject to the international law of crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in war are authorized or permitted by domestic law.
• All commercial, financial, industrial and scientific activities that aid and abet war should be criminalised.
• All national leaders who initiate aggression must be subjected to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
• All nations must strengthen the resolve to accept the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and institute methods to settle international disputes by peaceful means and to renounce war.
• Armed force shall not be used except when authorised by a Resolution passed by two-thirds majority of the total embership of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
•All legislators and all members of Government must affirm their belief in peace and pledge to strive for peace.
• Political parties all over the world must include peace as one of their principal objectives.
• Non-Governmental Organisations committed to the promotion of peace should be set up in all nations.
• Public servants and professionals, in particular in the medical, legal, educational and scientific fields, must promote peace and campaign actively against war.
• The media must actively oppose war and the incitement to war and consciously promote the peaceful settlement of international disputes.
• Entertainment media must cease to glorify war and violence and should instead cultivate the ethos of peace
• All religious leaders must condemn war and promote peace.

To these ends the Forum resolves to establish a permanent Secretariat in Kuala Lumpur to:
IMPLEMENT this Initiative.
OPPOSE policies and programmes that incite war. SEEK the cooperation of [non-governmental organizations] worldwide to achieve the goals of this Initiative.

American nationalists—America's real patriots—share the spirit of the Kuala Lumpur Initiative. And Americans need to rally together—and with others around the globe—to stand in the way of the imperial warmongers. We need to take a very careful second look before "rallying around the flag" and jumping on the pro-war bandwagon—or bandwagons—being assembled before our eyes.
George Bush is supposed to leave office in January of 2009. However, there will be others who will attempt to further the dangerous imperial policies spawned during the Bush era of lies and misrule. And it is the job of all good Americans—and their many friends around the world—to work together to bring these intriguers to their knees.

Nadezhda Kevorkova is a war correspondent who has covered the events
of the Arab Spring, military and religious conflicts around the world,
and the anti-globalization movement.

Until now, Israel has been getting away with anything it likes. A
series of revolutions and counter-revolutions in the Arabic world has
driven it into chaos, and seems to have pushed the Palestinian issue off
the international agenda for good.

And yet Malaysia, a predominantly Muslim country, has now called
a tribunal for war crimes and produced a genocide ruling – against whom?

Not against Assad, as one might have expected, but against
Israel, the state that considers itself to be beyond the
jurisdiction of any court or tribunal.

In Hamlet, the message that the king killed his brother to marry
his widow and seize the throne is delivered by the murdered
king’s spirit – which literally means by someone who cannot
testify in court. As a result, Prince Hamlet spends a long time
tormenting himself about whether he should believe the spirit and
avenge his father. After that, he undertakes a smart move –
asking a troupe of actors to stage a play reenacting his father's
murder, while he watches the murderer’s reaction. At the end of
the play, everyone dies, but Hamlet has gotten his revenge.

That’s how people’s justice usually works – it takes a long time,
it’s messy and ultimately useless from a rational viewpoint. It
would have been much more rational for Prince Hamlet to pay due
honor to the new king and his new wife, Hamlet’s mother, pray for
his deceased father, marry Ophelia and have lots of children,
then inherit the throne in due time and just keep on living…

The spectators watch how the prince’s world and values are
shattered to the ground. The father’s spirit has its word. The
actors have played out their play, and the murderer has been
betrayed by his reaction.

For the first time, an international war crimes tribunal has
charged the State of Israel of genocide, an unprecedented event,
as so far no international court or tribunal has ever delivered a
verdict against Israel to date.

The International Tribunal convened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Israel refused to send any representatives. The Kuala Lumpur
War Crimes Tribunal has no official ties to the UN and
acknowledges that it has not authority to deliver punishment.
Opinions differ on the subject of its jurisdiction, and the only
sanction it has in its power is to enter the name and title of
the party found guilty in the Tribunal’s registry and announce it
publicly to the world. In 2011, the tribunal found George Bush
and Tony Blair guilty of crimes against peace, crimes against
humanity, and genocide as a result of their roles in the
Iraq War.

It seems that one could just as well ignore this tribunal; much
like Israel ignores the condemning UN resolutions, protests,
severed diplomatic relationships and all other kinds of protests
against the military actions and acts of violence applied against
the Palestinians on a daily basis. However, a detailed trial like
this indicates that the mechanism has been set in motion, which
will have consequences for the entire world, not just for Israel
or the Middle East.

The International Tribunal is part of the Kuala Lumpur Commission
on War Crimes; however, these two institutions are not part of
Malaysia’s judicial system, even though they employ judges and
prosecutors of Malaysian background. Israel has no agreements
signed with this or any other international court. Yet the
Tribunal acts on the basis of the UN Convention on the Prevention
and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948, which was signed
and ratified by Israel. And this very signature, Israel’s
membership in the UN and the fact that Israel owes its very
existence to the UN and to the condemnation of genocide against
Jews in the course of the World War II – all this at the very
least gives us the right to challenge and discuss whether
Israel’s own actions could fall into the category of genocide.

Interestingly, the USA has been refusing to sign this document
for 37 years, having reasonable fears that many lawyers would
want to charge the USA itself with genocide of the Indians and
African slaves, as well as the Japanese, the Koreans, the
Vietnamese and many others. Israel, it its turn, did not foresee
that the very convention it pushed the world to adopt after the
war will one day be used against it. The very formation of the
State of Israel was made possible by the agreement of the
victorious powers to acknowledge that Jews were victims of
genocide carried out by Nazi Germany and that only having a
nation state of its own can guarantee them proper protection.

“The victims of genocide became themselves the source of
it.” This is how Hedi Epstein sees the essence of the ruling
against Israel. A German Jew who survived WWII, she lost her
parents to a concentration camp. Epstein was a prosecution
witness in the Nuremberg Trials. And in 1982, she learned that
the Israeli Army occupied Lebanon and provoked mass executions in
the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps. From that moment
on, Epstein and hundreds of other Jews embarked on an
anti-military and anti-Zionist campaign. However, Israel has
refused to listen to their voices. They were labeled
“self-hating” Jews and banned from the country which,
incidentally, announced itself to be the homeland of all Jews in
the world. Israel remained deaf to their warning that the Jews
who survived genocide do not wish Israel to be committing
genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people in their name.

Israel was convinced that the US would never cease to provide it
with military and political assistance, so it had nothing to
worry about. The Jewish “weirdos” are free to organize
as many useless marches and “freedom flotillas” as they wish; no
one will dare to find Israel guilty.

And now Israel has received its first wake-up call.

The hearings on the genocide lawsuit started in August 2013. But
the news soon faded into the background as the media extensively
covered the mass shooting of hundreds of Egyptians who disagreed
with President Morsi’s arrest and the growing tensions around
Syria due to a possible American missile strike.

On November 20-25, the final stage of the proceedings took place,
initiated by a group of Palestinians, who reported a number of
incidents.

The first one involved Israeli soldiers who killed 29 members of
the extended Samouni family in the Zeitoun neighborhood of the
Gaza Strip during the 22-day Operation Cast Lead in 2008 and
2009.

This is the most notorious crime against Palestinians over the
last few years. Judge Goldstone incorporated it into his report,
which he submitted to the UN after the operation was over.

The Samounis were a large family of peaceful farmers. None of
them had ever participated in armed resistance. They were some of
the few Palestinians who got on well with the Israeli settlers
and they were frustrated by the removal of the settlements from
the Gaza Strip.

In January 2009, an Israeli helicopter landed on their field. A
few gunmen demanded that the Samounis turn in the Hamas militants
to them. The next thing they did was bring the whole family under
one roof and shoot them down dead, including the infants. Those
who survived were found under the bodies of their relatives.

One of the survivors was the children’s mother. She repeatedly
tried to get a criminal case started in various courts of law,
but failed to get any compensation or apologies from Israel.

The second story revolved around the mass shooting of women and
children in the Sabra and Shatila camps in Lebanon in 1982.

Other incidents included:

- lethal firing of teargas canisters and rubber bullets by
Israeli Defense Forces that resulted in the deaths of unarmed
civilians during the Intifada campaigns and subsequent protests;

- a university student who was shot without warning at a peaceful
protest by an Israeli sniper, firing a fragmentary bullet that
caused extensive and permanent damage to his internal organs;

- a Christian resident of the West Bank who was repeatedly
imprisoned and tortured on grounds of subversion;

- a female resident of Nablus who suffered mental anxiety due to
her imprisonment and subsequent social ostracism;

- a Palestinian physician who conducted studies on the
psychological trauma inflicted, particularly on children, as
result of constant intimidation, massive violence and state
terror during and following the second Intifada; and

- Expert witness Paola Manduca, an Italian chemist and
toxicologist, who found extreme levels of toxic contamination of
the soil and water across the Gaza Strip, caused by Israeli
weapons made of heavy metals and cancer-causing compounds.

The Tribunal found the State of Israel guilty of genocide of the
Palestinian people in each of these cases, blaming former general
Amos Yaron for the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

The Tribunal’s verdict reads as follows:

“The Tribunal is satisfied, beyond reasonable doubt, that the
first defendant, [General] Amos Yaron, is guilty of crimes
against humanity and genocide, and the second defendant, the
State of Israel, is guilty of genocide.”

Even though the Israeli authorities ignored the summons, several
highly experienced lawyers were appointed by the Tribunal to
represent Israel.

So far we can only see separate elements without fully
comprehending the full picture. There are several things worth
noting here.

Israel’s case wasn’t brought before the International Criminal
Court (ICC) in The Hague; in fact, it wasn’t a European court at
all. In Europe, the guilt for failing to save the Jews from
genocide 70 years ago is still alive and associated with Israel.
Hearing this case in the Malaysian tribunal sends a message to
the whole world that Israel should be treated like any other
state, like Rwanda, Serbia, Libya or Cambodia.

The fact that the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal condemned
Israel is hardly surprising – Malaysia actively supports the
Palestinians. In early 2013 the Malaysian prime minister visited
the Gaza Strip – there aren’t many political leaders who can
afford to make such a provocative step.

Malaysian Islam is similar to that of the Muslim Brotherhood, an
organization that suffered such a crushing political defeat in
Egypt. Malaysia’s ex-leader, Mahathir Mohamad, is a very
influential figure in the Muslim world, especially among Muslim
Brotherhood supporters, specifically in the part of the Muslim
establishment that’s close to Britain.

Malaysia is even more determined to get revenge for the damage
the Muslim Brotherhood sustained than Turkey, so this influential
political faction dealt their opponents a glancing, but painful
blow. It’s the first time an international tribunal convicted not
individual generals, but the State of Israel of genocide.
Israel’s main weapon has been turned against it.

It’s also important to note that a year ago Henry Kissinger, a
key figure in US politics and architect of the Middle East peace
deal, unexpectedly said that he perused a report by 16 American
intelligence agencies which arrived at the conclusion that in 10
years’ time there will be no more Israel. The report itself, as
well as Kissinger’s comment, can only be viewed as proof that a
certain section of the American political elite intends to finish
Project Israel. Otherwise, they would’ve kept the report under
wraps and started working on a plan to save Israel. And most
importantly, if saving Israel was on their agenda, no tribunal
would be hearing this case.

Moreover, most of the Israel’s supporters wanted to believe that
almost three years of revolutions in the Arab world and two years
of fighting in Syria have pushed the Palestinian issue to the
sidelines. Israel rejoiced that the focus shifted from the
Palestinian issue, which united everyone, to the Syrian conflict,
which became a bone of contention for the entire world.

Contrary to Israel’s expectations of two months ago, the Tribunal
is not trying Assad for crimes against the Syrian people.
Instead, it is trying Israel for genocide of the Palestinians.
All of a sudden, Israel has lost its momentum. The Palestinians
are back in the political spotlight, and the trap designed to
lure Assad has turned into a trap for Israel.

Last but not least, many pundits rushed to argue that both the
rise to power of the Muslim Brotherhood and their fall is all the
doing of the US. The veteran commentators would say that those
who are to blame for the toppling of the Muslim Brotherhood in
Egypt will not go unpunished by the US and UK. The Israeli agents
had put too much effort into cajoling major governments to
support the Sisi-led coup to oust Mubarak and ignore the 3,000
deaths caused by the junta and the lies of the world media about
the Muslim Brotherhood allegedly burning down the Coptic
churches. Encouraged by the UK and Obama, full of arrogance and
reluctance to reach any kind of compromise, Israel paved its own
way to the genocide verdict.

Right now, Israel’s supporters are acting as though the Kuala
Lumpur verdict can be neglected. But it won’t be long before they
realize how dramatic the situation actually is: were the court to
be situated in Europe, Israel would have lobbied its way out of
the trial. But it did not reach as far as Kuala Lumpur. The
precedent has been set.

“The perpetrators had committed acts
against the Palestinians, with intent to kill, cause serious bodily or
mental harms and deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to
bring about the physical destruction of the Palestinians as a whole or
in part.”

“The Tribunal recommends to the War
Crimes Commission to give the widest international publicity to this
conviction and grant of reparations, as these are universal crimes for
which there is a responsibility upon nations to institute prosecutions.

The Tribunal deplores the failure of
international institutions to punish the State of Israel for its crimes
and its total lack of respect of International Law and the institutions
of the United Nations.”

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal
(Tribunal) reconvened on 20 November 2013 to hear two charges against
Amos Yaron (first Defendant) and the State of Israel (second Defendant).
The first Defendant was charged with war crimes, crimes against
humanity and genocide, whilst the second Defendant was charged with the
crime of genocide and war crimes.

The charge against the first Defendant is as follows –

“The Defendant Amos Yaron perpetrated
War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, and Genocide in his capacity as the
Commanding Israeli General in military control of the Sabra and Shatila
refugee camps in Israeli occupied Lebanon in September of 1982 when he
knowingly facilitated and permitted the large-scale Massacre of the
Residents of those two camps in violation of the Hague Regulations on
Land Warfare of 1907; the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949; the 1948
Genocide Convention; the Nuremberg Charter (1945), the Nuremberg
Judgment (1946), and the Nuremberg Principles (1950); customary
international law, jus cogens, the Laws of War, and International
Humanitarian Law”

The charge against the second Defendant [State of Israel] is as follows –

“From 1948 and continuing to date the
State of Israel (hereafter ‘the Defendant’) carried out against the
Palestinian people a series of acts namely killing, causing serious
bodily harm and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to
bring about physical destruction.

The conduct of the Defendant was carried
out with the intention of destroying in whole or in part the
Palestinian people. These acts were carried out as part of a manifest
pattern of similar conduct against the Palestinian people.

These acts were carried out by the
Defendant through the instrumentality of its representatives and agents
including those listed in Appendices 1 and 2.

Such conduct constitutes the Crime of
Genocide under international law including the Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of Genocide 1948 (‘the Genocide Convention’)
in particular Article II and punishable under Article III of the said
Convention.

It also constitutes the crime of
genocide as stipulated in Article 10 of the Charter of the Kuala Lumpur
Foundation to Criminalise War.

Such conduct by the Defendant as an
occupying power also violates customary international law as embodied in
the Hague Convention of 1907 Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on
Land, and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949.

Such conduct also constitutes War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity under international law.”

The charges (together with the
particulars of the charges) had been duly served on the Defendants, and
were read in open court by the Registrar as these proceedings commenced.

Neither Defendant was present in these proceedings, but both were represented by the Amicus Curiae-Defence Team.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC) versus the State of IsraelThe proceedings directed against the State of Israel were led by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission. Members of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC) are: Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad (Chairman), Prof. Michel Chossudovsky,
Dr. Denis Halliday, Mr. Musa Ismail, Dr. Zulaiha Ismail, Dr. Yaacob
Merican, Dr. Hans von Sponeck.Working
in liaison with their Malaysian counterparts, commissioners Dr. Denis
Halliday, former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and Prof.
Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Centre for Research on
Globalization were present in Kuala Lumpur throughout the proceedings.

This important judicial process has received very little coverage in the Western media. Global Research will be publishing several reports following this historic judgment against the State of Israel.

The Prosecution’s case against the first
Defendant is that the first Defendant had committed War Crimes, Crimes
Against Humanity, and Genocide in his capacity as the Commanding Israeli
General in military control of the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in
Israeli-occupied Lebanon in September of 1982 when he knowingly
facilitated and permitted the large-scale Massacre of the Residents of
those two camps. These crimes were in violation of, inter alia, the
Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, the 1948 Genocide Convention, jus
cogens, International Humanitarian Law; and Articles 9, 10, and 11 of
the Charter of the Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise War.

The Prosecution’s case against the
second Defendant is that from 1948 and continuing to date the State of
Israel had systematically carried out against the Palestinian people a
series of acts namely killing, causing serious bodily harm and
deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about
physical destruction – with the intention of destroying in whole or in
part the Palestinian people.

These acts constitute the Crime of
Genocide under international law including the Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of Genocide 1948 (‘the Genocide Convention’)
in particular Article II and punishable under Article III of the said
Convention. It also constitutes the crime of genocide as stipulated in
Article 10 of the Charter of the Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise
War.

In his opening statement, the Chief
Prosecutor Prof Gurdial Singh said that the Prosecution will adduce
evidence to prove the counts in the indictment through oral and written
testimonies of victims, witnesses, historical records, narrative in
books and authoritative commentaries, resolutions of the United Nations
and reports of international bodies.

6. The Defence case

Mr. Jason Kay Kit Leon of the Amicus
Curiae-Defence Team submitted that in the charges against the two
Defendants, the Prosecution had listed war crimes, crimes against
humanity and crimes against peace. Apparently the Prosecution had
abandoned these charges, concentrating only on genocide.

He said that the offence of genocide is
defined in Article 2 of the Genocide Convention 1948, whilst the OED
defines it simply as “the deliberate killing of a large group of people,
especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group”.

He submitted that the charge of genocide
is unique; it means that you don’t like a group, you kill them; you
kill them in a grand manner. Genocide means that at the end of the act,
you have a lesser number of victims than before the genocide started.

He further submitted that when one talks
of “massive killing”, it is many hundreds of thousands to millions of
people. To suggest that an isolated event, the unfortunate murder of
3,000 people (Sabra and Shatila) is the same as massive killing is
almost disrespectful of the true horror of massive killing (as in
Rwanda, where 800,000 people were killed in 100 days).

With regard to the Kahan Report, the
Amicus Curiae-Defence Team said that it also identified other people as
being responsible, with two other names other than Yaron still alive.
The question is why only Yaron was charged? Why was Defence Minister
Ariel Sharon spared?

He also submitted that the PLO had
repeatedly violated the July 1981 cease-fire agreement. By June 1982,
when the IDF went into Lebanon, the PLO had made life in northern Israel
intolerable through its repeated shelling of Israeli towns.

On Cast Lead, the Amicus Curiae-Defence
Team submitted that the IDF had come out with two reports. The point is
if you are going to kill people nilly willy, you do not report it.

On the issue of the wall, the Amicus
Curiae-Defence Team submitted that the primary consideration is one of
security of the Israeli settlers. The State of Israel has a duty to
defend their lives, safety and well-being.

On the issue of checkpoints, the Amicus
Curiae-Defence Team said countries have a right to immigration laws.
With regard to Plan Dalet, the Amicus Curiae-Defence Team said that it
is subject to divergent opinions, with historians on one side asserting
that it was entirely defensive, while other historians assert that the
plan aimed at an ethnic cleansing.

4. Prosecution’s closing submission

In his closing submission, the Chief
Prosecutor said that he had called 11 witnesses (some of whom had
testified through Skype), tendered 15 exhibits and furnished several
documents and reports to the Tribunal during the course of the
proceedings.

He urged the Tribunal to bear in mind
that this is a Tribunal of Conscience and the case before it is an
extraordinary case, which Winston Churchill used to call as a “crime
without a name”.

He said that the Prosecution had
provided evidence of facts which, examined as a whole, will show that
the perpetrators had committed acts against the Palestinians, with
intent to kill, cause serious bodily or mental harms and deliberately
inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical
destruction of the Palestinians as a whole or in part.

From the testimony of Prof Pappe (PW8)
the Prosecution had shown that before 1948, before UN Resolution 47,
there was already a plan in place to take over the Palestinian
territory, and this plan would be activated the moment the British
relinquished its mandate over the territory.

At that point in time, the Palestinians
were on 94% of the land, with the Jewish population settling over a mere
6% of the land. Under the UN partition plan, more than 50% of the land
was to be given to the Jews.

Plan Dalet might not legally be
genocidal in form at its inception, but as it took shape the ethnic
cleansing metamorphised into killing, massacre and creating impossible
conditions for life for the Palestinians – either they leave or they
die. The Prosecution submits this is genocide within the meaning of
Article 2 of the Genocide Convention.

On Sabra and Shatila, prosecution
witnesses (PW1 and PW6) had testified that the Palestinian refugees in
those camps had been killed by the Phalangists, aided and abetted by the
Israelis who were in complete control of the two camps.

According to the Kahan Report, all of
Beirut was under Israeli control, and there was clear symbiotic
relationship between Israel and the Christian forces (the Lebanese
Maronite Christian militia or the Phalangists or Keta’ib).

On Operation Cast Lead in 2008, the
Chief Prosecutor said that the Israeli Defence Force had used all kinds
of weapons, including white phosphorus – which is an incendiary weapon.
The use of incendiary weapons is prohibited under Protocal III on the
Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Incendiary Weapons.

As a result of the Israeli occupation of
Gaza, nowhere in Gaza is safe for civilians. 1.5 million Palestinians
are now trapped in despair, their fragile economy ruined. Under the
Dahiya Doctrine (October 2008), the complete destruction of Gaza is the
ultimate objective, the whole place must be flattened.

The Prosecution submits that the
cumulative effect of the actions taken by the Israeli government, as
shown by the Prosecution witnesses and the several documents tendered to
the Tribunal, have shown beyond reasonable doubt that Israel is guilty
of the crime of genocide under the Genocide Convention and the Charter
of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (The Charter).

Co-Prosecutor Tan Sri Abdul Aziz,
submitting on the first charge against Amos Yaron, said that Amos Yaron
was the commanding officer in charge of the Israeli Defence Force, in
charge of the area of Beirut, and camps Sabra and Shatila. He said there
were two issues which he has to deal with – first, whether or not there
was a large scale massacre of the 10 residents of the two camps, and
second, whether or not Amos Yaron facilitated and permitted such
massacre, in violation of international law and Articles 9, 10 and 11 of
the Charter?

On the first issue, he submitted there
was a large scale massacre, as testified by PW1. She was there, and she
saw the massacre with her own eyes. There was corrobating testimony by
PW6, and further acknowledged in the Kahan Report.

On the second issue, Amos Yaron was in
charge, to ensure that there would be peace and law and order. The Kahan
Report itself concluded that anybody who knew about Lebanon would know
that by releasing the Phalangists into Beirut, there would be massacre.
Surely, Amos Yaron, the General in charge, must have known that by
allowing the Phalangists to go into the two camps, the massacre would
take place. But he decided to do nothing.

He received the reports of the killing
of women and children, but he did not check the report. He did not pass
the report to his superiors. The co-prosecutor submits that by ignoring
all this despite knowing the circumstances, he himself had the intention
of causing the death of the people in the two camps.

10.3 Commission’s Register of War Criminals

Further, under Article 35 of the same
Chapter, this Tribunal recommends to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes
Commission that the names of the two convicted parties herein be entered
and included in the Commission’s Register of War Criminals and be
publicised accordingly.

10.4 The Tribunal recommends to the War
Crimes Commission to give the widest international publicity to this
conviction and grant of reparations, as these are universal crimes for
which there is a responsibility upon nations to institute prosecutions.

10.5 The Tribunal deplores the failure
of international institutions to punish the State of Israel for its
crimes and its total lack of respect of International Law and the
institutions of the United Nations. It urges the Commission to use all
means to publicise this judgement and in particular with respect to the
Parliaments and Legislative Assemblies of the major powers such as
members of the G8 and to urge these countries to intervene and put an
end to the colonialist and racist policies of the State of Israel and
its supporters.

26/04/08
"RINF" -- -- The former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad,
has echoed calls for Western leaders to be charged with war crimes over
the illegal invasion of Iraq.

Speaking at Imperial College in
London Mahathir, who was in office from 1981 to 2003, singled out US
President George Bush, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and
Australia’s former prime minister John Howard as he wants to see them
tried “in absence for war crimes committed in Iraq”.

The event
was organised by the Ramadhan Foundation which is a leading British
Muslim youth organisation working for peaceful co-existence and dialogue
between communities.

Mohammed Shafiq, spokesman for the group
said: “It was an opportunity for students to put a range of questions
about war crimes and the international situation. He said that people
have to stop killing each other and use arbitration, negotiation and
discussion as an alternative to violence, war and killing.”

Speaking
about the Iraq war, Mahathir focused on “the thousands dying, the
economic war, the power of oil and how we could utilise some of these
tools to have a leverage against the people who commit countries to
war”, Shafiq said.

The event was incredibly well attended with over 450 people and 200 more had to be turned away.

Among the mountain of war crimes Western leaders are guilty of include:-

The illegal use of napalm and other chemical weapons

Intentionally torturing and abusing detainees

Blocking aid convoys

Killing unarmed civilians, including shooting into family homes

Western
leaders are also guilty of many other violations of the Geneva
Convention, the Charter of the United Nations, the Nuremberg Charter,
International Law and the Constitution of the United States, including
crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.

International
law professors have called the attack against Iraq “a fundamental breach
of international law (that) would seriously threaten the integrity of
the international legal order that has been in place since the end of
the Second World War.”

Mahathir Mohamad’s statement appears to be
valid as the International Criminal Court defines the following as
international crimes:

(a) Crimes against Peace:

Namely,
planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a
war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances,
or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment
of any of the foregoing:

(b) War Crimes:

Namely,
violations of the laws or customs of war. Such violations include, but
not be limited to, murder, ill-treatment or deportation to slave labor
or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied
territory, murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war or persons on the
seas, killing of hostages, plunder of public or private property,
wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not
justified by military necessity:

(c) Crimes against Humanity:

Namely,
murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane
acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the
war, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in
execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of
the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the
country where perpetrated.
